ZK Proof-of-Reserve Explained
ZkStable introduces a Zero-Knowledge Proof-of-Reserve (ZK-PoR) system that verifies collateralization without revealing wallet balances or user identities.
How It Works
Collateral Locking – All ZEC used to mint $pUSD is locked into verifiable shielded addresses.
Merkle Root Aggregation – Collateral balances are represented as a Merkle root on-chain.
ZK-SNARK Proofs – The protocol generates a cryptographic proof showing that total collateral ≥ total minted $pUSD.
Public Verification – Anyone can verify proof validity without accessing sensitive collateral data.
Why It Matters
✅ Privacy-preserving transparency
🔒 Zero trust assumptions — verifiable on-chain
🌍 Real-time solvency validation
